Sweet, this feels just like Motherload!

Thanks! That was actually my goal – to create something that feels like Motherload, but bigger, better and more comfortable to play) Here is the link to the game on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2647820/Ad_Fundum/

I already love what I see, but I feel that just restricting parts to have certain stats and not some special gimmicks (and appearance) creates some limits, in actually choosing things - you might end up with a meta, in terms of building your mech, that players will inevitably fall to.

One of my suggestions, so far, is to make it so you *can* jump with legs (and get a "running start" to your vertical ascent), as to better justify the reduced weight capacity compared to the Treads.

The legs amortize falling better, so you can fall from a higher altitude without taking any damage. But I will consider adding some additional features, thanks for the suggestion!
